It's not easy being green.. but it's worth it!

As a fan of both the environment and sports, I read with interest a recent article in Sports Illustrated that outlined how both can coexist and what we can do to help out. Take a moment to read this article to see what the world of sports is doing to raise awareness about the world we live in.

I encourage everyone to remember the 5 R's: Reject, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Return to the earth
• Reject over-packaged items and inefficient vehicles.
• Reduce the amount of energy you use. Walk or bicycle if you can, it will cut down on car emissions, and you'll get some exercise!
• Reuse as much as you can. i.e, have hand towels at the kitchen sink instead of paper towels.
• Recycle paper, aluminum, plastic, glass, etc. The more we recycle, the less that goes in a landfill.
• Return to the earth: If you have the means, compost your table scraps, grass clippings, and other organic materials. You'll get some great soil out of it, and your garbage can won't smell!
